Wow, just listened to some of that Sonne Adam on YouTube. I hadn't heard of it and wasn't sure what to expect with that band name, but I didn't expect the amazing blunt force pummeling I got. It's really, really good.
This is why I love HTC. Thanks.

So he's accused of being pretentious, and in defense of himself writes the most pretentious screed he can muster?
Aesthetica's a good album. Not life-altering or transformative or whatever-the-fuck, but good. I like it a lot. Dude's a massive knob though.

Sounds like they've shed more than just their black metal skin.

It mostly sounds like some terrible collision of electronic music, atmospheric goth, and adult contemporary alternative or something. Yuck.
